Mapping Water - Pat Nunnally and Mary deLaittre March 22, 2012

The Mississippi River above St. Anthony Falls is perhaps the least "legible" part of the river in Minneapolis. Join Pat Nunnally and Mary deLaittre for a highly visual "tour" of this poorly understood section of the city. Over time, the region has seen an abundance of industrial sites and a scarcity of the amenity values that have made the Mississippi River Gorge and St. Anthony Falls so well known. All of that is likely to change in the coming decade, as the public agencies and advocacy groups responsible for implementing the "River First" vision undertake their mission of transforming the urban river corridor.
Pat Nunnally is Coordinator of the River Life Program in the Institute on the Environment. Mary deLaittre is President of the Minneapolis Parks Foundation.

Panel organized by the River Life Program at the University of Minnesota. Part of the University Symposium on Abundance & Scarcity.
